Deskripsi

Zeta inhibitory peptide (ZIP) impairs the maintenance of acquired memories. ZIP is known as an inhibitor of PKMζ. Here, the authors unveil how ZIP impairs memory maintenance acting as an arginine donor, facilitating NO-dependent down-regulation of AMPARs, independently of its action on PKMζ.
